    That’s some damn good news

    I’m looking forward to the news that malaria is extinct

    It probably won’t happen in my life time, but the rarer it becomes the better

      Hell yeah dude, go science.

      Uh…unfun fact, It’s estimated that 80% of people to ever exist have died due to Malaria so, fuck mosquitoes, fuck Malaria and fuck yeah science!

        Mosquitos are why I will never visit Finland in the summer again! Horrid little fuckheads. Maybe one day we can engineer them to exist without eating humans.

        Even before quinine the death rate after infection was around 10%, and the majority of people who ever lived did not catch malaria (although not by a huge margin).
